Earlier this week, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness was 20 years old and was criticized for the problem that was no longer a problem in video games when investigating the release situation. In fact, titles such as Darkness's Gale, which receives a mixed reception, may have been a dangerous way for the game industry.
In other words, the review focused on dark winds similar to the predecessor Pokemon Colosseum.
Craig Harris said, “It's almost the same as last year's game except the new story from the new character's point of view.
“Genius Sonority, the development team of Pokemon Colosseum, has essentially brought all assets, graphics and sound engines and general game designs to create a new adventure to create a completely new adventure.In fact, many areas where many adventures have been unfolded. When the first game went out of the door, the team didn't have to make a design. ”
Pokemon XD: The situation has changed after the dark wind
When I read this review in 2025, it is difficult to imagine this problem in 2025. We have changed in the other direction so far. Of course, the game is still in a hurry and 20 years later, I don't think Pokemon Games is still having enough time in the oven. But most developers are doing the opposite.
We will go for seven years between Nauge Dog Release. Meanwhile, Rockstar will be 8. It is not just Triple A. Eight years have passed since the last game of Edith Finche's remaining studio, Giant Sparrow, and 9 times after Playdead, INSIDE and LIMBO's studio. Whether a developer creates a huge triple -A game or a humble indie, it seems that the developer is facing the wheel.
But the two developers showed that re -creation of the wheel is not as important as reconstructing it. Elden Ring and Dragon: Infinite Wealth's developers, Software and Ryu Ga Gotoku from from Software and Ryu Ga Gotoku, and Ryu Ga Gotoku have a game at a speed that different developers can do. And the game is a critical talk and commercial success as a whole. This studio is not because it is essentially better than the rest of the studio. They can move faster using different processes. Many assets are reused.
In software and RGG points
Elden ring is not a Dark Souls game, but exceeds the 3D model of Software used in previous action RPGs. I didn't build everything from the beginning. It strategically deployed animations, enemies, motion sets, weapons and buildings in the previous game. The game is filled with dungeons hidden in the cave, and most of them look like other dungeons hidden in caves assembled in different ways. Elden ring may sound bad, but Elden Ring won the game of the year in all games in 2022.
Meanwhile, like Yakuza/, the dragon game repeatedly found meaning. For 20 years, this series has returned to Kamurocho, the same fictional Tokyo district. Layouts, like buildings, are largely maintained in each game. But when they change, it is often the core of the story. The conspiracy of Prequel Yakuza 0 focused on many disputes that major buildings will be built. It is cliché to say that the setting is the character of the work, but in the Yakuza series, Kamurocho has developed more than most human characters.
The game is based on the foundation of the work that developers did a few years ago. Why do you return to the drawing board when you can use the existing blueprint to build something better? Given how loved this game is, fans seem to agree.
